There should be cross-examination in the debate! Shen Boyang: Jiang Wanan can only repeat those things and I will memorize them

The first debate hosted by "TVBS" will be held tomorrow (12th). The current mayor Jiang Wanan called on the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang to send someone to sit down and talk. In this regard, Shen Boyang attended the Daan and Wenshan parliamentary candidate Chen Shengwen's election today and was interviewed today. He said that as long as the debate venue and cross-examination method are confirmed, there is no need to negotiate anything in particular. It is fastest for the two people to ask direct questions from the public on the same stage. He emphasized that without cross-examination, it will become a political opinion presentation. "Chiang can only repeat the same things, and you can see that I have memorized them."

Shen Boyang said that he did not need to negotiate anything in particular. The only thing he needed to do was to determine how many debates there would be, because only when there were several debates would he know how to divide and set the topic of the debate. After determining the number of debates, the time and content would not be a problem. What he liked best was to have two people stand on the stage and let everyone ask questions directly, which is the fastest.

Shen Boyang pointed out that the debate is not just about Shen Boyang and Jiang Wanan talking, but about answering citizens' questions. Therefore, cross-examination by you and me, and I ask you questions is very important, so that the actual content of the discussion can be truly discussed. Just confirm the venue and cross-examination method. There are only 7 weeks left before the voting day. The sooner the better, the debate should start as soon as possible.

The media asked, Jiang Wanan has not yet expressed his position on cross-examination. Will he be firm in his attitude towards cross-examination during negotiations? Shen Boyang emphasized that without cross-examination, it would turn into a political opinion presentation. You would tell your story and I would tell mine. Chiang would memorize the manuscripts about drinking fresh milk, the six-line MRT line, the Dome, etc. "Chiang can only repeat the same things, and you can see that I have memorized them."

Shen Boyang gave examples: the Big Arena was not approved by Jiang Wanan, the six MRT lines are only one stop (currently), and the exchange rate for fresh milk is low. If the debate reaches this form, it will be reduced to everyone talking about their own opinions without much meaning, so we still hope to have cross-examination.
